Interface for factory networking
With the integrated LINERECORDER AGENT, this master enables direct networking of all connected IO-Link devices with a local server via an Ethernet network. Using this connection, machine data, process parameters and diagnostic data can be directly read and processed by the IT. The easy-to-use server software LINERECORDER SMARTOBVSERVER* enables data evaluation by means of customer-specific cockpits.
Using the same communication mechanisms, it is possible to directly couple machines and exchange production-related data.

From sensor to SAP
For the first time, sensor data can be directly transmitted to management software - and this on a factory-wide or even worldwide level.
Evaluation of the obtained data in real time enables an increase in production efficiency and energy savings in the context of Industry 4.0.

Special features
Ethernet interface for PLC connection
This IO-Link master operates as an input/output card with a total of 20 I/Os, of which 8 are for IO-Link devices and the rest for binary signals.
All signals can be easily transmitted to compatible controllers via the standard fieldbuses EtherNet/IP or Profinet.

Two ways simultaneously = PLC and server in parallel
So far, all sensor signals had to be sent by the PLC to higher-level systems. This is now done via a parallel communication path (Y path). The PLC program remains unchanged.

Integrated web server for configuration and diagnostics
No special software is required for configuration. All IO-Link settings can be made via the integrated web interface. To do so, a standard PC with Ethernet connection and web browser is required.

Convenient IODD integration
Via the web interface, up to 8 different IODDs (IO-Link device descriptions) can be loaded into the master. After connection of the IO-Link devices, the corresponding IODDs are automatically assigned to the connected IO-Link devices and the corresponding ports.
